Macy's reviews

The job is extremely demanding and very difficult to maintain a work/life balance. The schedule is all over the place and inconsistent. It's also very difficult to request off or take a vacation for the week you desire. Overall, it is very difficult to move forward into promotion. In my 4 years as a Group Sales Manager, I've only seen one manager move onto the next level, from my area of the store. The Senior level executives are out of touch and do not realize all of the responsibilities and work load of the Group Sales Manager. It's very disappointing, as it could be a wonderful place to work. However, it is not, and I would NEVER recommend anyone to take a position in the management team. The annual merit increase is a disgrace and even worse, this year they took them away from the entire Junior level Executive staff, though the Senior Executives will still receive theirs.

They are bad about getting rid of incompetent people. It is irritating having to work with certain people who just flat out need to be fired but we have a long-term ''coaching'' process that has to occur first.
